DYSPEPSIA CURED FREE!
Wanted! 100 Genuine Cases of Chrorlo Dyspepsia,
Who will each receive, free of Charge, a regular bottle of
the S. GROVFR GRAHAM REMEDY for
DYSPEPSIA.
The Grover Graham Dyspepsia Remedy is sold under a positive
guarantee that it will cure Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Gastritis or any
form of stomach disorder, no matter how chronic or severe. The
very first dose removes all distress, tones the weak stomach, pre
vents fermentation and restores digestion. Every nerve and fiber
of the body depends upon the stomach for its support. When di
gestion ceases a slow form of starvation begins, and the vital or
gans, deprived of their subsistauee, become debilitated. Good di
gestion is essential to health, proper assimilation of nourishjnent
means pure, rich blood, strong nerves, sound sleep and makes Iffe
worth living. The most chronic case of stomach disorder is imme
diately corrected by our remedy.
Write for Lecture on Dyspepsia, free, S. Grover Graham Co.,

anteed to cure, and in evidence of the desire of the proprietors to
